I’m glad that tumblr is moving onto it’s labor rights phrase but if you’re going to strike you need

  • clear and concrete demands (i.e. $15 an hour minimum wage, paid sick time, the ability to recieve your schedule a month in advance, etc)
  • unity. one person skipping work is not gonna make a difference. you’ll just be fired. an entire workplace striking will yield results
  • mutual aid. if y’all striking y’all not gonna get paid and people have bills and children. you need to raise money for a strike, find a sympathetic rich person or unionize and pay dues

this is not an overnight process. it can take months or years and if you live in major metropolitan area there’s probably already a committee of some sort (DM if you live in New Orleans and want to join one) if not you can form one or join the iww. you can’t just tell people to not show up for work with no plan. because most people aren’t gonna do that.

Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing

Things that actually work if u try at them:

  • Drinking water
  • No longer making self deprecating jokes
  • Making sure to take time out of the day to relax and take a breather
  • Lighting candles
  • Counting ur breaths in and out if ur having a panic attack
  • Getting up and trying to do one thing even if u can’t do everything maybe brushing ur teeth but not having the energy to shower
